“…A time and space analysis allows us to examine how the social context and processes of implementation relate to each other, and encourages a holistic view of this relationship as mutually interacting, each being a constitutive of and constituted by the other (Walsham, 1993). Since social contexts have their own norms about time and space, we find that even around the same technology, the nature of linkages between context and process can be quite different, bringing about a variety of social consequences (Barley, 1986;Robey & Rodriguez-Diaz, 1989;Orlikowski, 1991;.…”

“…Similarly, Robey and Rodriguez-Diaz, (1989) assert that the implementation success of accounting information systems may be a result of similar cultural values shared between the headquarters and their subsidiaries. In another study conducted by Harper and Utley, (2001) it was found that cultures with people orientation tended to have superior levels of implementation success than those cultures with more production orientation.…”

The purpose of the present paper is to theoretically review the role of culture on using Information Systems. This study revises, criticises, and extends cultural dimensions developed by main scholars such as Hofstede and Hall. Furthermore, it discusses the two levels of national and organisational culture and their role in shaping the use of Information Systems and its development. It significantly explains various levels of use of IS among different nations and industries located in different cultures. The results demonstrate the important role of national and derived organizational culture as immediate antecedents to and key success factor of using Information Systems. Because this revision outlines major lines of research in the field, it can be useful for both academics and practitioners. Further, it discusses limitations of existing research and suggests a new dimension of culture (Traditionalism-Modernity) which stimulates further research to investigate its validity in characterising diverse nations in terms of their national culture.

“…Robey and Rodriguez-Diaz (1989) study the case of an accounting IS implementation in two Latin American subsidiaries of one multinational corporation. The authors find that the implementation strategy must be in line with the organizational culture of the receiving company and its national culture for the subsidiary to view the system as a local product (i.e., for the technology transformation to be successful).…”

Abstract:Culture is an important topic in strategic information systems (IS) research, particularly because information technology (IT) projects are often accompanied by cultural challenges. While culture has been widely analyzed in this discipline, there is a lack of research that systematically examines the role of culture in strategic IS research. With a structured literature review, we investigate the relation patterns between culture, strategy, and IS-related concepts in terms of dependent, moderating, and independent variables and the research approach in terms of descriptive, normative, and prescriptive. Four different patterns emerge, each one closely related to specific forms of theorizing and corresponding research designs. Research streams focusing on descriptive explanations of culture's role are rather exhausted. IS research that builds on a normative understanding of culture exists in selected areas, while theorizing on the prescriptive management of culture has been largely neglected despite the relevance of cultural challenges in IS projects. We derive areas for future research and present two themes that emerged in our study to demonstrate how descriptive and normative approaches can provide a foundation for research on the prescriptive management of culture in strategic IS projects: the management of cultural clashes and the management of cultural identity.
